Today is Fat Tuesday; which means tomorrow is Lent.
We practice Lent in our family, not because we have too, because we want to. (Well, the kids don’t want to, it’s a subject of debate each year within the family).
There is nothing Biblical about participating in Lent. It’s a man-made tradition. So why participate in it?
One article wrote it best:
Lent is seen as a solemn observance and preparation of the death and resurrection of Jesus. It starts on Ash Wednesday and concludes on Easter Sunday.
It is a traditional time for fasting or giving something up or abstinence.
He compared it to how we carefully prepare for events in our personal lives (wedding, birthday, commencement) Lent invites us to make our minds and hearts ready for remembering Jesus’ life, death, and body resurrection.
In addition to what the family is giving up, I’m giving up notifications.
Yes, you heard right. I’m giving up notifications on my phone.
This is one area of my life that has taken over. I will only check my social media posts at certain times of the day.
Do you practice Lent? If so, what are you giving up?
